    Blikra, Marthe Jordbrekk; Rode, Tone Mari; Skåra, Torstein; Maribu, Ingrid; Sund, Randi; Vaka, Mette Risa; Skipnes, Dagbjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-24)
    The European production of seaweed, including kelp species, is increasing, but efficient processing schemes for complete biomass valorization are still lacking. In this study, we investigated the effect of combining pulsed electric field (PEF) processing and soaking/blanching treatments (10, 45, and 60 ◦C) on the chemical composition of sugar kelp. Furthermore, we suggest applications for the ...

  • Development of quantitative PCR method for Escherichia coli detection in human stool samples 

    Lied, Thomas (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-06-12)
    The gut microbiome is a complex community of microorganisms that reside in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. This diverse ecosystem includes Escherichia coli (E. coli), which are not just present, but are essential in maintaining health by aiding digestion, synthesising vitamins such as Vitamin B12 and K, and protecting against pathogens. E. coli is a versatile bacterium with various ...
  • The root of extraction: understanding prison labor through the lens of human dignity 

    Sabjaly, Miriam (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-23)
    This study explores the compatibility of prison labor with human dignity by synthesizing and critically reflecting on existing research on the topic. Evaluating work in incarceration through the perspective of a core, foundational value such as human dignity allows us to consider whether it is a reality irredeemably linked to abuse or coercion, as it is frequently portrayed, or whether there may be ...
  • Democratisation, Political Inclusion, and Systemic Justice: The Effects of Youth Movements on Social and Political Change in Nigeria 

    Otive-Igbuzor, Rukevwe (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-23)
    This study examines the effects of youth movements on social and political change in Nigeria, using the student movement in the 1980s/90s, the #NotTooYoungToRun movement (2016–date), and the #EndSARS movement (2017–2020) as case studies. Eight activists actively involved in these movements were interviewed, and the interview findings were complemented with data from various secondary sources, including ...
